30 Movies Starring MCU Actors In 2017

19. Mary Magdalene (Chiwetel Ejiofor)

MCU Actors 2017
Marvel Studios

A biopic of the biblical figure, who is said to have been one of Jesus' closest followers. It's written that she witnessed both his crucifixion and his resurrection, and her status is said to rival even that of Peter's.

Hers is a story that could make for an interesting biblical tale, and they've got a great actor in the role, with Rooney Mara cast - and what's more, Joaquin Phoenix taking on the role of JC himself. Chiwetel Ejiofor, meanwhile, will be playing Peter. And then maybe in the post-credits scene he'll be setup as the next villain.

Garth Davis is directing, and you'll no doubt hear a lot more of him soon, with Lion expected to feature heavily during awards season.

Release Date: TBC

NCTJ-qualified journalist. Most definitely not a racing driver. Drink too much tea; eat too much peanut butter; watch too much TV. Sadly only the latter paying off so far. A mix of wise-old man in a young man's body with a child-like wonder about him and a great otherworldly sensibility.
